Is a 1996 peugeot 306 xld a turbo?

No only if its got a 't' in it. It will be 70 BHP diesel, same as 1.6 petrol (But all Diesel engines are a "turbo" - it's how the diesel engine works." All diesel engines are not turbo charged !!! The easiest way to identify if the engine is turbo charged is to look at the exhaust manifold and see if you can see a turbo, a normally aspirated engine will have the exhaust pipe straight on to the manifold a turbo charged engine will have what look like bulges in the manifold area with a small rod and vacuum pipe (this controls the waste gate). On the 306 the easiest way to identify either way is to open the bonnet and look at the engine, if there is a unit on top of the engine that looks like the radiator this is the 'intercooler' and the engine is turbo charged if this is not present and there is a black air box then this is normally aspirated and does not have a turbo !!
